Tigers take County Trophy COUNTY TOURNAMENT CHAMPS. Kneeling: Holmes. Tyus, Bruce. Standing: Coach Parkinson, Davis, Carmean, Smith. Meri-deth, Prather, Agnew, Lossing, Russ, Fisher. James Prather follows his shot to the goal as teammate Mike Fisher watches intently. Two points for Paul Carmean. The 1967-68 Tiger basketball teams held their ground firmly throughout the season. Despite its seven win-thirteen loss record, the varsity team played exciting basketball the entire year. Led by all-conference James Prather, the Tigers walked away with the County Tournament trophy, often playing beyond their measured potential. Graduation took the entire starting five from this year's A team line-up. The B team, made up of sophomores, juniors, and adopted'' freshmen had a successful year under the guidance of Coach Jack Hopke. These players will be the main hope for a great varsity team next year.
